Even though Friday classes were cancelled due to the Correction Days that Stony Brook instilled, we still had to do our mandatory 4 shadowing hours. We went over Res-Net, and the many options students had on campus to connect to the Internet. Jim went over the opening and closing procedures of Main Library, and what to do in case of emergencies or in the event that you accidentally disarm the alarms. He also gave me a tour of the Main Library, and showed me what the OPSCAN office was for, and to be careful when dealing with scantrons. We, as Senior Consultants, should never touch the scan trons, and that we should only give envelopes to professors who ask and they should deliver it themselves to the OPSCAN office.
We also went over the differences between Macs and PCs. THere wasn’t much of a difference between the two, since many of the functions are similar, such as the Command on the Mac, is directly equal to the “Ctrl” button on PCs. I also learned that some programs aren’t compatible with MACs, so we have to open VSS in order to use them.
